THE TRAFFIC LITE APP

A software firm based in Lagos, has announced the launch of its new mobile traffic solution, “Traffic Lite”, a community-based traffic application aimed at providing real-time traffic updates to the local community.

The start-up company saw the need to improve the intense traffic situation on Lagos State roads, hence it developed the solution.
Traffic Lite is all about contributing to the 'common good' out there on the road. It is a community based traffic solution geared to make daily road commute a breeze.

By connecting drivers, passengers and pedestrians to one another, the solution helps people create local driving communities that work together to improve the quality of everyone's daily driving. That might mean helping them avoid the frustration of sitting in traffic, cluing them in on police traps or shaving five minutes off of their regular commute by showing them new alternative routes they never even knew about.

According to the Founder and Technology Lead of Panthelope Technologies, Ikenna Iloeje, "Traffic Lite features an ever-increasing list of popular routes around Lagos. Once traffic lite has been downloaded, users simply create their profiles, and log in." He said by just driving or walking around with the app running passively on their phone they are immensely contributing to traffic and other road data, but they can also take a more active role by sharing road reports on accidents, police traps, or any other hazards along the way, helping to give other users in the area a 'heads-up' about what's to come.

Traffic Lite solution, he added, boasts at top-notch degree of accuracy of its traffic reports. The report shows the actual cumulative speed on the route, actual number of road commuters present on the route, an estimated travel time, route distance and bottlenecks along the route. You can’t go wrong with its report.

"If for some good reason, the regular route is not listed on the popular routes, users can create their own personal routes using the ease to use Google Map. These routes can be shared with friends and other social networks.
In addition to the local communities of drivers and road commuters using the app, Traffic Lite also features a lightweight social community where users can find friends on Traffic Lite and share current location and histories," Iloeje said.

"The application was inspired by the need to help users get as accurate as possible route traffic reports, road alerts and other traffic related situations such as accidents, police traps, security alarms, gas stations etc. on majority of the routes in Lagos. These will help in saving time, money and aids in improving daily commuting for the community,” Iloeje said.
